The Spirals of Samhain

For M. Macha NightMare, by Annie Finch

Spiraling night pulls our living souls down
To the dark reaching earth where we spiral again.
It’s smoke time, time to know, it’s our time to go home
Beyond time-to remember the light in the dark.

And the light in my heart keeps burning, burning,
Bringing day to the night.
And the wheel of the year keeps turning, turning,
Bringing dark to the light.

In the dark reaching earth where we spiral again,
Beyond time, to remember the light in the dark,
It’s smoke time, time to know, it’s our time to go home,
As this spiraling night pulls our living souls down.

And the light in my heart keeps burning, burning,
Bringing day to the night.
And the wheel of the year keeps turning, turning,
Bringing dark to the light.

It’s smoke time, time to know, it’s our time to go home
Through the dark reaching earth where we spiral again
Beyond time, to remember the light in the dark,

As this spiraling night pulls our living souls down.
